White Wonder Cucumber
Seed Count: Approx. 30 seeds Days to Maturity: 60 Description: Try these ivory white cucumbers, and enjoy their very mild, crisp and delicious fruit. This variety was introduced in 1893, and the plants are very high yielding. Great for salads, or pickling. How To Grow Sowing: Cucumbers don’t take well to transplanting, so either start them early in peat pots or sow them directly.

Since they love to climb, providing a trellis will save space in your garden, and produce straighter cucumbers that are easier to pick.

Growing: White Wonder cucumbers can withstand fairly high temperatures. Moisture is the key to growing excellent cucumbers so keep the soil consistently moist. Cucumbers have a shallow root system, mulches help retain soil moistur
